An abdominal exercise apparatus which is pivotally adjustable. The apparatus is configured to rest on a floor and support a user's hands and knees during operation and includes a guide member having at least one elongate rail, a movable support member mounted to the elongate rail for slidable movement thereon and a stationary base with the guide member being pivotably mounted to the stationary base for angular adjustment of the guide member relative to the stationary base about an axis substantially perpendicular to the floor. The guide member can be pivoted relative to the stationary base to position the guide member angularly from the stationary base for conditioning abdominal oblique muscles. Furthermore, the guide member can be pivoted approximately 180° to facilitate storage and transport of the apparatus. In an embodiment, control over the sliding resistance between the movable support member and the elongate rail of the guide member is provided. Also disclosed is a method for exercising and conditioning the abdominal muscles of a human.
